1978, 18yrs old, I'd had minibikes and ridden by brothers motorcycles, but the first motorcycle I bought was a 1970 FLH full dresser red and white with the big white seat. That was my first ride on a Harley. I sure wish I still had it. Now I ride a blue 06 Ultra Classic.
The first H-D I ever rode was an '07 Softail Deluxe. Bought it new. Rode it 25 miles home from the dealership. Owned other motorcycles prior to that one and since then, but that was my first H-D. 96 cubic inches, six speed transmission, dual exhaust...wonderful music.
